Immediately following our 3-part Reports series (redesign, fresh data, and Custom Charts), allow us to offer a small but significant update to brighten your week: Clickable links in your pipelines and boxes! To start brainstorming about your own pipelines, here are 6 useful ways to incorporate links into Streak:

  • Email address of main contact
  • Business homepage
  • Link to invoice, resume, contract (or other similar key document)
  • Dropbox (etc) folder
  • Social media profile

An example of email addresses in the pipeline:

In the above, the ‘Main Email’ field now presents as a (blue, clickable) link. Single click on the field in the spreadsheet and you now have the option to open a new Gmail compose window:

… Initiating outreach from your pipeline has never been easier!

If we revisit our sales pipeline from above, note you can also enter a URL:

To make life easier, we’ll recognize the URL as a link with or without the preceding ‘www’. Clicking a URL from either the pipeline or a box in Streak will open the link in a new tab. Speaking of boxes, links are also available in the right tab of your email:

Final note: in this right tab view, a single click will open the link (or a new email, depending).

What else should we be building to make your life easier in Streak?
